So McDonalds is discontinuing the Super Size option. (story
here) So you mean to tell me that no longer will you be allowed to spend an extra $.39 for about 10 more french fries and a few more ounces of watered down Coke? Wow….just watch the waist lines of America change overnight! Wowzers! Talk about an empty gesture. McDonalds, whose sales have been sagging up until the latest quarter, is just trying to buy themselves some free good publicity. There are far more things wrong with the eating habits of this country than just “Super Sizing” your meal. Shame on McDonalds for such a empty gesture, and shame on the media for jumping at it like trained seals.

Deserving of the awards or not, if your film was up for 11 Oscar’s, wouldn’t you take the time to properly groom yourself? I mean, I’m no fashion plate, but if I was going to be seen by close to a billion people in 50 some languages, I think I would at least comb my hair. Peter Jackson did “geeks” around the world no favors by appearing like that. People will continue to associate that sort of mental image of the over-weight slob with fantasy works. Thanks Peter…good job. Idjit.
